Roy Williams sues ex-girlfriend to get engagement ring backPosted by Michael David Smith on July 6, 2011, 6:58 AM EDT

On Valentine’s Day, Cowboys receiver Roy Williams mailed his girlfriend an engagement ring worth $76,600. The girlfriend rejected the proposal but kept the ring, and now Williams is suing her.

The Odessa American reports that Williams filed a lawsuit Thursday, claiming he should be able to regain possession of the ring he sent to Brooke Daniels, a former beauty pageant winner who lived with Williams for a year.

In the lawsuit, Williams says he asked for the ring to be returned and Daniels said she lost it. At that point, Williams reported it lost to his insurance company, but the insurance company’s investigation indicated that Daniels’ father, Michael Daniels, remained in possession of it.

Michael Daniels confirmed to the Odessa American that he has the ring and said he’s going to give it back to Williams to avoid the lawsuit, even though he says Williams is lying about the claim that the ring was lost, and that Williams told his daughter that she could keep it.

“He said [to Brooke Daniels], ‘I’m not like a lot of people, I don’t want the ring back. You’ll eventually come back to me,’ and she didn’t,” Michael Daniels said.

So it sounds like Williams will get what he wanted out of the lawsuit. Even if he didn’t get what he wanted out of the marriage proposal.

So he's got $76k to spend on a ring, but he doesn't have an extra $1.50 to give to the pizza man? What a bum.

1. Spending that much money on an engagement ring is just stupid, regardless of how much money you have.2. Mailing it to her is classless, simply classless.3. She should give it back if she is not going to accept his proposal of marriage, even if he tells her to keep it.4. She's at least showing a modicum of intelligence by not marrying that idiot.

I have to differ with you on that. If Roy was stupid enough to mail an engagement ring with his written proposal, he deserves to lose out on the ring. Because she didn't ask him to buy her an engagement ring. He just did it. You just can't fix stupid.

They don't properly coach for mail-order brides in Dallas. The ring isn't what gets delivered in the mail...

If she had accepted the proposal and then broke it off she might have a case to hold on to the ring, but not much, but if she didn't even accept the proposal then she has nothing to stand on, even if he offered it to her.

The strange story of Roy Williams and the $76,600 engagement ring has come to an end.

Williams, the Dallas Cowboys receiver who sued his ex-girlfriend to try to get back the engagement ring that he mailed her on Valentine’s Day, got the ring back.

Brooke Daniels, the former Miss Texas USA who dated Williams for a year, returned the ring yesterday, her mom told TMZ. The hand-off of the ring was overseen by Williams’ lawyer.

Although questions remain — namely, what the hell was Williams thinking sending an engagement ring in the mail? — the issue appears to be over. But Williams had better be ready for a whole lot of trash talk about it this season.
